Resident reports shots fired at home

A resident in the 5300 block of West Broadway reported that his home was struck by gunfire yesterday evening, Columbia police Officer Jill Wieneke said in a news release.

About 6:30 p.m., officers responded to a call from a 48-year-old man who said he had heard a “thud” on the east side of his home shortly after 6 p.m. He found a small hole in the siding on the east side of the house, the news release said.

He reported seeing a dark crew-cab truck driving with its taillights off on his street immediately after the incident. Officers were unable to locate the source of gunfire or the truck, Wieneke said.
